What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on the construction of a new house. I am a widow and when my husband died he left me in a very old and dilapidated house, therefore when I got the third transfer I constructed a new, strong and better house than the previous one. My house is by the roadside where there is a lot of passers by. Whenever they see my new house I see admiration in their eyes. That makes me feel so good because I never new I could achieve some things, for example, building a house on my own, but because of the transfer I was able to achieve one of my greatest dream in this life.
